Pics of Tourstage X blades

[oldplayer]

I bought up these clubs (on another thread) as an example of a top quality Japanese forged professional level blade that in my opinion would rival Miura etc. and certainly can be found pretty cheap.
As not everyone would be familiar with these I have posted here some pics of the 5 iron from the set I have.
For those who love compact headed, pure forged blades. Enjoy

Those ARE nice looking blades, OP . . . .

[lorenzoinoc]

Those look great. The ones I tried weren't nearly as clean looking.

Tourstage makes great equipment. It's another of the great high end Japanese (or is it "Japannese", like those women in that other thread?) golf equipment companies.

Very nice OP.

Have you ever hit it? By the look of it, it's never been used. Appears brand new.

Yes I've played them. I have the 3-pw with DGS300 shafts. They are beautiful clubs but quite demanding in terms of lack of forgivness on miss-hits. For that reason I prefer my Tourstage Z101's. They are also superb sticks, extremely soft feel, very blade like with a very thin topline. Great balance and with a bit of forgivness. As you know I have plenty of wonderful sets to chose from and the Z101's seem to always find their way back into the bag. The majority of my sets are either new, near new or in excellent condition. I have too many to put too much wear on individual sets!!

I had some Tourstage TS - 202's several years ago. They were great irons; easy to hit and super sweet feeling.

Yes they are also reputed to be great irons. I haven't hit them but the general conseus among reviewers is that they are on the more forgiving but less wokable side. I imagine they had the trademark Tourstage very soft feel though. My Z101's are the softest I have ever hit. Better feeling than my Mizunos.

Tourstage makes remarkable high-quality irons. Its blades can match Mizuno's feel, but in my opinion I find that they are not as workable.

Since it's well accepted that Mizuno is superior to Ping, then perhaps you need to change your screen name to Mizuno>Tourstage.

Anything forged in Japan is of superior quality to those forged outside of japan. One exception would be Scratch Golf. They too make a high quality product, not mass produced shi.te for the sheep.

to be perfectly honest when it comes to Mizuno, tourstage, miura, epon, gold factory,honma beres, kyoei, yururi and fourteen, the difference is with preference in name, appearance, and/or price.

Why does my Gold Factory wedge say Gold Factory USA ?

[Omen2]

yo retard... the guy who forged your wedge is named masayuki sasaya. He learned how to forge golf clubs correctly in Japan working for GAUGE, another company your retarded a.ss is not familiar with. BACK TO THE POINT. He probably wrote U.S.A. on it so you racist simple minded retards would buy it.

Omen, helping stupid brits become less stupid.

[Mizuno>Ping]

Ah I see.
Quick assumption on my prejudice for races, boyo.
Your last statement doesn't even make sense : " He probably wrote U.S.A. on it so you racist simple minded retards would buy it. "

[Omen2]

well sure it does.

unless you assume that since you are british and so the u.s.a wouldn't apply to you doesn't make sense.

but here let me explain how it definitely does. We owned the brits during the american revolution (you know this as "THE WAR WERE WE GOT OUR AS.S KICKED BY A BUNCH OF FARMERS"). Since then you guys have always considered everything labeled U.S.A. to be of superior English heritage and are therefore compelled to buy it.

Omen, HIST 101... class dismissed

Hahahahahahaha

[Omen2]

Hahahahahahaha

I'll take this to mean you submit to my superior intellect.

Omen, your apology thread should be forthcoming

[Mizuno>Ping]

Sorry I do not submit to retarded Americans.
Uh-oh, I sense a drop in self-esteem.

[Omen2]

i'm not asking you to submit to any retarded americans.

Im asking you to submit to this SUPERIOR american.

why is this so hard for you to grasp! oh because you're slow...

Omen, i should use baby powder if i'm going to slap you around this much
